Data Protection Regulation

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This concerns all data that reveals something about you and by which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on which legal basis we process your data.

Responsible for the data processing (“data controller”) on this website and in our company is:

TimeLapseWorlds GmbH

Waldenserstraße 2-4

10551 Berlin

Deutschland

Phone: +49 151 56319519

General information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

How long do we store your data?

In some parts in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or revocation, we may however continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process the data that override your interests, rights and freedoms (only applies in the case of an objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).
The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).
We are required by law to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.

Data transfer to the USA

On our website, we use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. The decision establishes that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures put in place by the US to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and safeguards on access to data by US intelligence agencies. Binding safeguards were introduced to limit US intelligence agencies' access to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of US intelligence activities was established to ensure that restrictions on surveillance activities are respected. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens about access to their data. The EU-US data protection framework thus allows European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection safeguards. A list of all certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.

A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF IT'S STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS PROCESSING IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITS EXISTS:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.

THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.

Other rights

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You can give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing the operation of certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another “data controller” if this is technically possible.

Right to information, deletion, and correction of data

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may demand that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:

with your consent
for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. The right exists for the duration of the review.
The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. The right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. The right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
You have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and now your interests and our interests must be weighed against each other. The right exists as long as the result of the balancing of interests has not yet been determined.

Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External hosting

Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):

Webflow, Inc.
398 11th Street
2nd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

Has a data processing agreement been concluded with the hoster or are standard contractual clauses (SCC) in place?

Yes

How do we process your data?

The hoster stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through entering. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hoster adheres to our instructions and always processes the data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, for example to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they therefore disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
Do you want cookies to be deleted automatically when you close the browser?

If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Cookie consent with Cookiebot

What is Cookiebot?

Cookie consent, monitoring and control software

Who processes your data?

Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Where can you find more information about data protection at Cookiebot?

https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/

How do we process your data?

We use Cookiebot to obtain your consent to store cookies on your device and to document it in a data protection compliant manner. When you visit our website and close the cookie window of Cookiebot requesting consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:

your IP address in anonymized form
the date and time of the consent
the user agent of your browser
the URL from which the consent was sent
an anonymous, random and encrypted key
your consent status, which serves as proof of consent

In addition, Cookiebot stores a cookie in your browser to associate the consents given or revoked with your browser. All data collected will be stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Cookiebot cookie or request us to delete the data. This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfill this obligation, we use Cookiebot. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:

browser type and version
operating system used
referrer URL
host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address (anonymized if necessary)

We do not combine this data with other data but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. Therefore, the data processing is lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Contact form

You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the information from the form in order to process your request including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.

How long do we store your data?

We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

Your request has been conclusively processed.
You request us to delete the data.
You revoke your consent to the storage.

This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

Your inquiry has been conclusively processed.
You request us to delete the data.

Analysis tools and advertising

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and show you advertisements.

META Pixel

What is META Pixel?

Tool for analyzing user behavior that measures the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook.

Who processes your data?

Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Where can you find more information about data protection at META Pixel?

https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

On what legal basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.

How can you prevent data processing?

If you have a Facebook account: Deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the Ad Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

If you do not have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

How do we process your data?

We use the META Pixel on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The data that Facebook collects via the pixel is anonymous to us as the operator of this website. So we cannot identify you as a visitor. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account via the pixel and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). In the course of storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account, you can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in this account in the Advertising Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.

If you do not have a Facebook account, it is possible to deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures on social networks. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Facebook, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

How do we process your data?

We use the Facebook Conversion API on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The Facebook Conversion API processes personal data such as user IDs, cookies, device IDs, and other identifying information collected by Facebook and third-party vendors. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted advertising campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to serve advertisements itself within and outside the network (see Facebook Data Use Policy). During storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising in the Ads Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

If you have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising in the Ads Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

How do we process your data?

We use Facebook Custom Audiences on our website. Facebook Custom Audiences is an audience targeting tool within the Facebook Ads Manager. It allows businesses to define their own target audience based on information they have about their customers or potential customers, such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook IDs or device IDs. Using Facebook Custom Audiences allows us to create more targeted and relevant advertising campaigns by targeting an audience we already know. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted ad campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). During storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account: Disable "Custom Audiences" in the Ad Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

eCommerce and payment providers

Customer and contract data

How do we process your data?

When we conclude a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process and use this data only insofar as it is necessary to establish our legal relationship, to shape its content or to change it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use our offer or to bill the service used.

How long do we store your data?

We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are required by law to keep the data longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Data transfer when using services and digital content.

How do we process your data?

For the processing of the payment, we transmit your data to a payment service or the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing. We only pass on data that is absolutely necessary for the payment process. If we want to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
